Miss Butter's Lament

[Instrumental Intro]

[Verse 1]

Waiting around for the first breath of spring

Nobody else seems to care

She waits patiently with the knowledge

That she will have so much to give to someone

[Verse 2]

Waiting around for the knock at the door

Gentleman callers, beware

Hoping to see all the flowers and candy

He's offered her in every dream she's ever had

[Bridge]

She don't mind all the waiting around

For someone to come along

I know she's about to be found

Before too long

[Instrumental Break]

[Bridge]

She don't mind all the waiting around

For someone to come along

I know she's about to be found

Before too long

[Verse 4]

Waiting around for the first breath of spring

She never noticed the snow on the ground

Spring never made it, somebody delayed it

For her again

[Outro]

Like the year before

And the year before

And the year before

And the year before

And the year before
